    Fresh water pump cycling too much

    I can’t remember how to adjust the pressure regulator switch to lower the pressure it comes on again
    Accumulator tank is set lower than the water pressure

    The easiest way is for you to go onto YouTube and type in water pressure tank adjustment. It’s easier to do that then try to type out exactly what you’re supposed to do. It’s the fourth or fifth article down when you open up the page and it shows the pressure adjustment unit.

    Re: Fresh water pump cycling too much

    When accumulators bottles fail, the pump cycles a lot.
    If water comes out of the air nipple (tire stem valve), it has failed.

    Is this a new symptom/issue?

    I offer to pump up the accumulator first before adjusting the pump. Just a couple of PSI taller.
